Once again

Any Williams connections to FCI I am interested in studying. More that one
early Williams came from North Carolina as did my Moses-there were only
thousands of Williams in NC in 1700s-Euro, Afro and Amerind!

But, if there is even a hint that Ben and Robert had NC or Moses
connections, I am interested! Seems more one Williams family came to FCI
from NC via Wilson County, TN!
